We are meeting at a local pub in my home town St Albans on April 1st and from then on the first Monday of every month. You too can make a "WOMB TWIN SURVIVORS SUPPORT AND INFORMATION" meeting happen in the place where you live! You can make a MEET-UP group very easily. There is a charge, but you can always get a small donation from each person to cover costs. www.meetup.com. <br /><br />If you start a WTSSI group with meet up I will give you 20 little womb twin badges to hand to your first 20 members! I've only got 100, so the first five groups will get them for free! Good luck!

It is not just with WTS, but with everything. <br />Thanks you for this post. Keep on going.<br />I agree with comment 1: Thank you Althea! Your work has been life saving for me.<br />By the way I knew I had lost a twin before it was ever called Wombtwin survivor or I ever had heard of Althea's work. I always thought I was the only one. I am not. So yes, let us unite and together make a voice.

I must speak up on this exact subject. I have felt this way since I was a 6-year-old child. There was no internet then (the 1960's) and certainly no books on the subject. I carried this around with me for more than 50 years, trying to articulate what I felt, only to be ridiculed by other people, including people "in authority": medical professionals, psychiatrists, psychologists, etc. Sometimes people in the medical profession are the worst ones in terms of understanding, as illustrated by that response from that awful person who says she is a psych nurse working with eating disorder patients(which, incidentally, I had anorexia at the age of 12 when eating disorders were not nearly as prevalent and there was little, if no, information about them. Now, I am horrified to see there are websites popping up that give young, impressionable children information on "how to keep anorexia and bulimia going at full-speed" and not get help with the disorder! Anyway, my point is, that Althea never planted the idea in my mind. It was always there, and I suffered greatly over the last 5 decades. When I finally DID find the Wombtwin Survivors website, it was like the biggest, most luminous light in the universe came on and I breathed a sigh of relief...my feelings were all substantiated! I wasn't crazy with a "colorful imagination" (as my mother always said). Everything I had felt and did was all for a very good reason. THANK YOU ALTHEA for everything you have done and continue to do. There will always be the naysayers and nonbelievers. Keep on doing it for everyone who needs you...the unfortunate survivors who haven't been able to get into the light yet..but they will. And for the rest of us, we must keep on educating others and getting the word out, too. We are all in this together. DON'T LET THE DOUBTERS GET YOU DOWN!!!!
